Cheddar cheese reigns supreme as one of the world’s favorite cheeses. In fact, it’s the #1 cheese in the UK, representing 68% of the total volume of cheese produced in the country. And, it’s a top choice in the US, where consumption of this American-style cheese has risen quickly since the pandemic¹.

From the UK, to the US, to Asia Pacific, cheddar cheese is on the fast track for substantial growth. The global cheddar cheese market is estimated to hit $133 million USD by 2030, representing a 6.8% CAGR². Meeting this exceptional demand is easier said than done, especially when growth in the milk supply is relatively flat.
